Introduction

#When I read the incarceration data, I wanted to focus on the black and white females in prison. I concentrate on Washington state because I’m from there. I wanted to figure out if the white female population in Washington was similar, higher, or lower than the black female population. Suppose the bias or racism in Washington changed from 1988 to 2018 and that black and white female populations were not that far apart in the chart.

Chart

#For my chart, I wanted to compare the black and white female prison populations, see which race had the highest prison rate, and see if the numbers are closer. My x-axis was the white female prison population, and my y-axis was the black female prison population, and the colors are based on the years. From my graph, I could tell that the white female prison population had the highest arrest.

Map

#Since my data was focused on the female prison population in Washington state I wanted to create my map on that. I created two maps to show the black female prison population and the white female prison population in 2016 to see the difference. The black female prison population had more blank places then the white female prison population in 2016. In the map you could see that in King county the black female prison population has a huge population.
